Abs warning light came on a few months ago, when I press on the brakes you can hear the air pushing through then they get very hard. Also, if I am stop at a light the truck stalls or is very slow to go when I press on the gas. My mechanic states the the repair would be to a break booster in the anti lock system ($315.00 for the booster) and the stalling is caused by the breaking system causing a vacumn in the engine.
